Please come along to our AGM Meeting to find out what is going on at the Hall.
We would be pleased if anyone is willing to join our small committee, or just offer to help as and when it is needed.
We are keen to find people with skills such as maintenance, electricians, plumbers, advertising and marketing who can assist us, and maybe be willing to take the lead on a Mother and Toddler Group or possibly start a group to use the hall for regular keep-fit, art classes or revive drama activities such as a Christmas Pantomime.
Or just come along to offer moral support. We would love to see you.
